Print

At times it can be useful to show a value from the radio. The print function allows just that.

print(text?: string): void

When run with text, eg. print('hello'), an area with the printed text displays on the running task's panel. When run with no text, eg. print(), the area is removed.

Note that when the script completes, the print area will be automatically removed.

Creating the script​

Now let's create a new script to retrieve and display the radio's firmware version.

Monitor frequencies
sendCat(`VN;`)
    .then( response =>  {
        //remember to remove the 'VN' from the response.
        print(response.substring(2));
        delay(5000);
    });

Installing the script​

Save and run the script. You should observe the firmware being displayed.

Congratulations​

You can now display argitrary text.
